kayumanggi Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I think we should stop comparing this to THE AVENGERS. By the way, BKB is very silent huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I still think that record is a tough mark to beat (much to Noctis delight) Let Potter have one record. Edited May 3, 2013 by Telemachos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 3, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 3, 2013 Let Potter have one record. It can always have "most frontloaded former opening weekend record holder". 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 By the way, I know it's ridiculously early, but I'm feeling confident about my $63m OD guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 From top critics. These people are really hard to please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Still iffy... No sell out so far here. Not even IMAX, Avengers and TDKR both had every IMAX show sold out all weekend. It does have a lot of showtimes. May be reason why there are not a lot of sellouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The same thing could happen to STID, perhaps worse. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 By the way, I know it's ridiculously early, but I'm feeling confident about my $63m OD guess. If that happens then a divergence has happened between the canadian and US market,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 3, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 3, 2013 The same thing could happen to STID, perhaps worse. lol STID could end up in that Transformers category where critics--some of them fans--don't take well, but general audiences enjoy it more. Or it could just bomb. One or the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 We could see that record go down twice in one summer. Reminiscent of 1989 with Batman > Ghostbusters 2 > Last Crusade. What a cool summer that must have been to follow and be old enough to go to the movies in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Everytime I see midnight numbers from tentpole releases like this it really makes me that much more impressed with Deathly Hallows: Part 2. I know their was a massive fanbase, it had 3D and represented roughly 25% of the OW, but still. 43.5 million!? I remember I went to a 20 screen theater and EVERY ONE was sold out. Is there any movie that comes out this year that has the potential to break it? My top pick would be Catching Fire but without 3D I just can't see it happening. I don't think it'll ever be broken, at least for a VERY long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 It does have a lot of showtimes. May be reason why there are not a lot of sellouts. But Jay is going about it the right way with the IMAX comparison. It has a ton of showtimes in 2D and 3D which makes it impossible to judge demand because sellouts are more difficult with that many showtimes. But the IMAX shows are limited and always have been limited. Your IMAX showtime/screen count has not gone up much at all since July 2012 when TDKR came out. I just checked the theater I went to for TDKR in IMAX and IM3 did not sell out the two morning shows today. TDKR sold out every IMAX show at that theater for Friday through Sunday. I went to a 8 AM show Saturday morning and it was sold out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
